Section 1
The big idea
Your first job contract probably has clauses that hurt you for years — non-competes, IP assignments, forced arbitration. AI can flag every one before you sign.
How to use it
- Paste the contract and ask AI: 'What clauses hurt me long-term?'
- Ask AI to explain non-compete and how courts treat them
- Ask AI to flag IP assignment that grabs your side projects
- Ask AI to draft polite negotiation asks
Try it
Get any job offer letter (yours or sample). Ask AI to flag the top 3 things to push back on.

AI and non-compete in a job offer: red flag or normal
Section 3
The big idea
A non-compete can lock you out of your industry for years. AI can read yours, tell you if it's enforceable in your state, and draft the redline you send back.
How to use it
- Ask AI if non-competes are enforceable in your state
- Ask AI to identify the 3 worst clauses to redline
- Ask AI for the email to send asking for changes
- Ask AI for the alternative non-solicit language to suggest
Try it
If you have a job offer with a non-compete, ask AI to review it before you sign and request the redlines this week.
